If you’re like me, you’ve seen the commercials on the telly for Drive Angry approximately 28 factorial times, and you probably think to yourself “yup, another shitty action movie starring shitty Nicholas Cage 4 Fast 12 Furious wannabe!” I definitely thought that, and quite fortunately I know better now; in fact, here’s a better way of showcasing the movie that puts the entire thing in a different light. Bear the 2 minute trailer and see if you agree: Seems pretty different from just another shitty Nicholas Cage Driving Cars and Shooting People movie, right? The devil’s involved? Some sort of cult? Well, you’re half right. Drive Angry is certainly not a “good movie” by any stretch of the imagination – its purile, over the top ridiculousness washing any any inkling that … Read entire article »

Let’s make this review as simple as possible: If you like Jackass – if you ever liked Jackass – and even if you never saw a Jackass movie prior to Jackass 3D, you might want to give this one a whirl. If you never liked Jackass, and found it exceedingly distasteful, you still might want to give this one a whirl. Why do I say this? Because despite the fact that this is essentially just another Jackass movie with some 3D segments, the 3D segments are awesome. The first 5 minutes of the movie in and of itself features some of the coolest super-slo-mo 3D effects I’ve seen without any CGI involved, and the last 5 minutes feature the same level of wow factor. Having said that, the remaining 40% of … Read entire article »
